Shrimp And Tomato Mousse Recipes

LINGUINE WITH SHRIMP AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente; drain and return to the pot.
• Meanwhile, core, halve and seed the tomatoes. Blend the tomatoes, 1/4 cup olive oil, the garlic, oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor to make a chunky sauce. Add to the pasta and toss to combine.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet, then add the shrimp in a single layer; cook, turning once, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp to the pasta, tossing to combine.
• Divide the pasta and shrimp among bowls. Drizzle with olive oil.

TOMATO-BRAISED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil and garlic in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until the garlic is lightly golden, 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, 3 minutes. Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the oregano, salt and red pepper flakes.
• Add the shrimp to the sauce in an even layer. Simmer over medium heat until opaque, about 8 minutes. Top with chopped parsley and serve with toasted bread.

EASY SHRIMP AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high heat; swirl to coat pan. Season shrimp with salt and ground pepper. Add half the shrimp to the pan; cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and shrimp.
• Reduce heat to medium; add garlic and red-pepper flakes. Stir in tomatoes; cook until they begin to break down, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt.

SHRIMP MOLD

Steps:

• Heat soup in a small saucepan or in a microwave oven.

• In a medium size mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and mayonnaise together. Mix soup mixture into the mayonnaise and cream cheese mixture. Mix well. Add shrimp, celery, and green onions.
• Spoon the mixture into a 1 quart mold and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight. Unmold onto a serving plate before serving.

SHRIMP WITH BASIL, GARLIC, AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
• Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
• Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high. Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

• Pour into a nice mold and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
• Serve with party crackers that aren't heavily flavored.

QUICK SAUTEED SHRIMP IN TOMATO GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, scallions, garlic, a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until the greens of the scallions are wilted and darkened with the oil and the garlic is tender and slightly golden, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, season with salt and cook while stirring until the tomatoes are softened, about 2 minutes. Add the clam juice and lemon juice, bring to a light simmer and stir. Taste, and if the tomatoes and lemon juice are too tart, add sugar and stir.
• Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook on 1 side until the shrimp begins to turn opaque and curl slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Then toss and cook until they just begin to turn pink on the other side, 1 to 2 more minutes. (Shrimp cooks fast and there's a thin line between done and overdone; the best rule is to remove the pan from the heat as they begin to reach the finish line. Continue tossing and the heat of the pan will continue to cook them until done.) Serve warm or chilled.

• Heat butter and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet. Add the sliced garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, swirling skillet occasionally, until the butter starts to brown and the garlic is golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until shrimp are bright pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add white wine, if using, and let cook for a minute or two, just to take the edge off the wine (don't reduce so much that you lose that sauciness, though). Remove pan from heat.
